 From the K3 spec:
Supply voltage 13.8V nominal (11V min, 15V max.)

I routinely run the K3 on battery as note in my previous post and the 
voltage averages 12-12.5V and falls below 12V only during contests. The 
BAT MIN setting remains at the default of 11V, which was reached only 
once during a test with a variable voltage supply.
